Realizing it won't get far with the story alone, Solo Leveling explores new fields of action and aura farming: an ice skating musical

Solo Leveling may be making waves in the anime world, but it's about to level up elsewhere – and I promise you're not ready for its "new experiment."

No, it's not April 1. Solo Leveling on Ice is planned for 10 shows later this year, with "intense battle scenes" taking place on the rink (H/T AnimeCorner).

ArenaLive said, “This ice performance musical is a new experiment and challenge for K-content based on the strong IP of Solo Leveling. We will grow it into a model that introduces the Korean performance genre to the global stage, going beyond a simple performance.

It continued, “While animation or dramatization have been the typical paths for IP expansion, this performance is a new attempt to break down genre boundaries through the fresh space of ‘ice skating.’ Through the performance, we will expand our contact points with not only webtoon fans but also existing performing arts fans.”

While Solo Leveling takes to the ice, it appears Solo Leveling season 3 is on ice – at least for the time being.
